What difference does it make?
The independent evaluation of the work of the Children's
University has been undertaken by 'Leadership for Learning - The
Cambridge Network', led by Professor John MacBeath of the
University of Cambridge. The first two annual evaluation reports
evidence the value of CU provision to children's lives and pay
tribute to the CU's "propitious and encouraging
beginning". The formative approach to evaluation has been
integral to developments of the CU, most particularly in Professor
MacBeath's contributions to the development of the CU's quality
assurance processes. The third evaluation, published in 2011,
focuses on impact on individual children, in particular in relation
to attainment, progress and attendance and was supported by Fischer
Family Trust.
The CU evaluation reports are available on the Media and
Publications page.
